A new discovery, in Ukraine, forces us once again to keep our eyes focused on the horrors of war, which does not stop.
Detention and torture chambers for young prisoners, teenagers and practically children , created in Kherson and Kharkiv by the Russians during the occupation. The complaint is made by the human rights commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada (the Ukrainian Parliament) Dmitry Lubinets.
And the barbarism of war will not stop at Christmas and New Year, a truce is not on Moscow's agenda: "Such a topic is not on the agenda and no proposals have been received," Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov cut short .
Meanwhile, drones and missiles continue to rain on Kiev: thirteen in all, "all shot down by Ukrainian air defenses," said Zelensky. The Ukrainian defense could be further strengthened thanks to the sending of American Patriots : the White House has not yet confirmed the delivery, but the Kremlin has already announced that if they were supplied to the Ukrainian forces, they would become "legitimate targets" for Moscow .
The torture chambers, we said. The one reported in the Kherson region was called the "children's cell" . There in physical abuse - little water and almost no food - and psychological abuse, the children were told that they had been abandoned by their parents and would never go home.
Lubinets told the story of a 14-year-old boy who was allegedly arrested and tortured just for taking a photo of disused Russian equipment. Then in Kharkiv, he added, “I personally saw two torture chambers in Balakleya, they were facing each other. One guy stayed there 90 days. He said he was cut with a knife, burned with incandescent metal, they terrified him by shooting him over the head ».
